You can be a South Park hero too!

Enter South Park, and help save the town in the new game, The Stick of Truth, launching in the first week of March

South Park fans rejoice; now, you get to join your favourite fourth graders in an epic battle to become the coolest kids in town, as part of a new role-playing game, to be launched in March.

From what we know so far, the game, titled South Park: The Stick of Truth, is currently available on a pre-purchase basis on Steam as well as Game4u.com, and will be available for download from March 6. The game is releasing on PC, XBox as well as PS3 platforms.

Your journey begins as a new kid on South Park, and requires you to find a place alongside Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny, and join them in a hysterical adventure to save South Park. Armed with magical weapons and mystical armour, you are required to defeat underpant gnomes, hippies and other forces of evil and discover the lost Stick of Truth. You can also recruit classic South Park characters to your cause. The game is written and voiced by the show’s makers, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and developed by Ubisoft.

Priced at '2,999 (on Game4u.com), the pre-purchase copy (on Steam) comes with an Ultimate Fellowship content pack that contains four different costumes, each with a secret power to help you get ahead of the rest.
